sorry to busy arguing i guess this is anti spyware stuff? ive used spybot before that seemed quite good.

He won't be able to run hijack this, he won't have permissions.

depends... some people have full permisions on their PCs (i do) (same company btw)

its a engineering company, the IT department consists of a rowdy fat italian and a spotty 17yr old WOW player...

http://download.cnet.com/Spybot-Search-amp-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html

will be blocked, most download sites are, and all proxies are blocked too... the fat Italian is good at some things...

 

[Magic Johnson]

LOL!

 

[m4rkie23]

He won't be able to run hijack this, he won't have permissions.

I run from a CAD workstation, so have admin permissions. So I should be able to technically.

 

[Magic Johnson]

Why does a CAD workstation need admin permissions? :S

 

[DMS]

He won't be able to run hijack this, he won't have permissions.

That's easily sorted.
I forgot he couldn't Google though. Follow the link above and give it a try.
If you don't have permissions to install it, download the standalone executable from the same page instead and I'll talk you through elevating your permissions

mine is CAD too... although they gave me permissions caus he couldn't be bothered to log me out to install a update lol

Hai! Tell me.

 

[m4rkie23]

If I search for "cliosport" in google (or in the address bar from chrome) it links too:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=cliosport

if will does it, it goes to:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=strict&q=cliosport&aq=f&aqi=g1g-s1g1g-s3&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

using the second link (from will) it works fine.

does that help anyone in resolving the issue?

edit - will is mugglesquop btw

 

[m4rkie23]

mine is CAD too... although they gave me permissions caus he couldn't be bothered to log me out to install a update lol

ditto

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

but i gues you both arnt using chrome?

 

[m4rkie23]

I imagine Will is, and I currently am yeah

 

[Magic Johnson]

Lol that is shocking IT work!

 

[mugglesquop]

if i search from Chrome address bar: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=cliosport&meta=&aq=f&oq=&safe=on&safe=strict

If i search from Google (still in Chrome): http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=strict&q=cliosport&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

If i search from Google (in IE8): http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...66&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&safe=strict

 

[m4rkie23]

if i search from Chrome address bar: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=cliosport&meta=&aq=f&oq=&safe=on&safe=strict

If i search from Google: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=strict&q=cliosport&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

If I search from the google search box, it does NOTHING.

If I search in the chrome address bar I get: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=cliosport

Clicking on both of the links Will just posted works fine for me.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

it smacks of malware!! as if google chrome cant search google lol sorry to bang on about it. i'd re-install chrome if you can and see where that gets you.

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

if you had some time on your hands you could compare what processes are running on both your computers? but thats a begining to clutch at straws suggestion tbh.

they will be completely different anyway lol. mine currently has 47 processes running

this company doesnt do standard anything

 

[m4rkie23]

oh, and if you run \\charlton2\install$ you get a list of EVERY program the company uses, and all the files etc.

IT dept win.

(btw, we turnover half a billion £ a year, and employ something like 1200 people in uk)

 

[Magic Johnson]

Flol, and run by a couple of cowboys.

 

[m4rkie23]

well, a few more than that, but when they come to install stuff, they bring "how to" guides with step by step instructions.

srsly

(btw, im not that bad on computers, this thread is making me look a little illiterate, and im far from that, this just makes 0 sense)

Try updating via Malware Bytes program. Should be a tab called update?
